Students arrived and read an article about Celia Cruz. They were supposed to read for a general idea of what the article is about and then needed to underline 10 past tense verbs.
Students shared something they learned about Celia Cruz: where/when she was born, what she did, when she died, etc. We also made a list of past tense verbs and I wrote them on the board in three columns. The columns were -ar verbs, -er/ir verbs and irregular verbs. We went over the conjugation to talk about third person in the past.
-ar verbs: drop ending (ar) and add -o (participó, empezó)
-er/ir verbs: drop ending (er, ir) and add -ió (corrió, vivió)
We made a list of some famous Spanish speakers who are no longer living. Students each chose a person and we went to the computer lab where they could learn 5 things about their famous people. Sentences should be simple and include the correct conjugation of verbs in the past.
Tarea: complete 5 sentences about their person.
